We will be pouring at one of the best and most unique tasting events in California!

This is the most comprehensive tasting of California wines in the San Diego area — the largest number of wineries; an enormous range of varietals; wine growing appellations from all over the state. This is a Family Winemakers tasting, which means that many of the wineries are small (under 5000 cases), have limited marketing outreach, and will be represented by family members. Over 25 wineries in this year’s tasting will be pouring with us for the first time, giving you a taste of the new kids on the block. You can sample new releases from your classic favorites and from wineries just selling their first vintages. Check out varietals you’ve never heard of (Vermentino? Tannat?) or your best-loved Cabs and Chardonnays. This well-respected tasting is a once-a-year opportunity to tour and taste California’s wine country under one (very large!) roof.

Your ticket includes: Unlimited access to 150+ wineries from 20+ California appellations pouring over 30 varietals and 500 different wines; commemorative wine glass; a great variety of Kerrygold cheeses; on site deli. Wine orders may be placed at this tasting, to be shipped from the winery. Many wineries will be offering special pricing on shipping and/or select wines.

October 2012

Windsor Oaks is pouring our Pinots at the Ninth Annual Pinot OnThe River event in downtown Healdsburg. We are thrilled to be participating among 100 wineries from all over the West Coast and to share our wines with Pinot enthusiasts.

Pinot On The River is a fun filled weekend of Pinot Noir, in the beautiful Russian River Valley town of Healdsburg, CA. Taste current releases, special bottlings and library wines from over 100 top Pinot producers from up and down the West Coast at this “full immersion” walk-around tasting. It’s a Sonoma County wine weekend you won’t want to miss.

Join us as we celebrate the harvest bounty of our beautiful Sonoma County and the hands of the many people that make it all possible. It’s the hands that work our vineyards and farms; the hands that make our wine and prepare our food.

Most importantly, it’s your hands. The hand of our family with which we get to share the fruits of our labor.

The day is filled with celebrations starting with light appetizers and tasting in our Hospitality Salon. Later, we will make our way up to a luncheon on top of our beautiful Block 23. Lunch will be served family style at long community tables, and will include gourmet wood fired pizzas and salads. This bountiful feast features all farm fresh, Sonoma County sourced produce and meats. We will be pouring from a wide selection of wines, including many new releases, library and limited wines as well as magnums. After dessert, we will continue the festivities with music by local band The Rolling Blackouts. Not a Wine Club member yet? Join today!

Come discover the wonders of the harvest season with an up close look at the hands which make it all possible!

Activities will include freshly pressed juice tastings in our winery, live picking demonstrations, vineyard tours and finished wine tasting in our hospitality salon. Test your new found knowledge and play “Name That Grape” for a prize! Contestants will have a chance to inspect clusters from some of the 17 different varietals we grow and guess which varietals they are. Dance to live music playing throughout the day from the local band The Rolling Blackouts.

Event Price: This event is complimentary!
